Step into timeless charm with this 1954 Craftsman-style home, blending classic character with thoughtful updates. Original hardwood flooring, wood-burning fireplace, and vintage doors and trim create a cozy, inviting atmosphere, while little nooks throughout add to its unique personality. This home features two bedrooms and one full bath, plus a versatile third room perfect as a bedroom, office, or sunroom. The updated kitchen shines with granite countertops, newer cabinetry, and modern finishes, while updated vinyl replacement windows bring in natural light. Peace of mind comes with major updates already done — newer HVAC and roof within the last 10 years — making this home move-in ready. Outside, enjoy mature landscaping, a private fenced backyard with stone accents, and a newer deck ideal for outdoor entertaining. A one-car garage provides secure parking or extra storage space. Nestled on a quiet, convenient dead-end road in the highly desired South Knoxville area.
